Veteran’s Benefits

Full or part-time UC students who are active duty, reserve personnel, veterans, or, in some cases, the child or spouse of a veteran are eligible for Veteran Education Benefits. To determine eligibility, complete the online Application for VA Education Benefits (VA Form 22-1990).

VA benefits include: 

Military Tuition Assistance (TA)

UC complies with the policies and procedures for the military Tuition Assistance program for eligible members of the U.S. Armed Services. 

Each service has its own criteria for eligibility. Prior to enrollment, prospective students are directed to speak with their Education Services Officer (ESO) or military counselor to determine which VA or Military benefit(s) they qualify for. The following links connect prospective students to their particular service:

Register for classes only after approval from your ESO is obtained.

Return of Military Tuition Assistance

In compliance with the Department of Defense policy, Urshan College will return any unearned TA funds on a prorated basis through at least the 60% portion of the term for which the funds were provided. 

Please note: If you withdraw (officially or unofficially) from a course and did not complete at least 60% of the course, you may not be eligible for the total amount initially awarded through Tuition Assistance. In cases where some or all the Tuition Assistance must be returned to the military, you will be responsible for all balances on your student account.

Recruitment of Military and Veterans Policy

Urshan College bans inducements to any individual or entity (other than salaries paid to employees or fees paid to contractors in conformity with all applicable laws) for the purpose of securing enrollment of service members or obtaining access to tuition assistance funds as part of efforts to eliminate aggressive marketing aimed at service members.

UC does not participate in high-pressure recruitment tactics aimed at Service members. Service members will not receive three or more unsolicited contacts (by phone, email, or in-person), nor will they be engaged in same-day recruitment and registration for the purpose of securing Service member enrollments.

Additionally, UC will not provide any commission, bonus, or other incentive payment based directly or indirectly on securing enrollment of federal financial aid to any persons or entities engaged in any student recruiting, admission activities, or making decisions regarding the award of student financial assistance.
